>=3B Hi Corey!
>=3B
>=3B >=3B I was wondering if= there was a way to group related buffers in Emacs
>=3B >=3B through= the use of=2C say=2C multiple buffer workspaces.
>=3B
>=3B Ther= e's desktop-save-mode which can be used therefore. See
>=3B
>= =3B (info "(emacs)Saving Emacs Sessions")
>=3B
>=3B for detail= s. It's not exactly like the grouping you'd like to have=2C
>=3B beca= use there's only one open workspace at a time and switching
>=3B works= paces involves closing all files/buffers of the current one and
>=3B l= oading the new ones. So quickly jumping between buffers of different
&g= t=3B workspaces is not possible.
>=3B
>=3B So many people open o= ne emacs instance per workspace=2C which has other
>=3B drawbacks of c= ourse.
>=3B
>=3B Hope that helps=2C
